In our latest podcast episode, Colin Rooney, Partner and Head of Technology and Innovation, and Michael Egan, Senior Director in Legal Technology, Governance and Consulting Services, discuss the rise of GenAI in legal services and how it is accelerating document‑heavy legal work such as investigations, cyber incident response and DSARs.

The conversation also highlights how GenAI is being applied to repeatable processes such as Data Protection Impact Assessments. By combining legal expertise, regulatory guidance and secure GenAI workflows, we have developed scalable solutions that significantly reduce time and cost, while preserving legal judgement and oversight. When embedded correctly, GenAI has the potential to transform how complex, data‑intensive legal work is delivered for clients. For more information, please visit arthurcox.com/legaltech
